Before everything changed, Ashley Wise was told she was too much, too loud, too intense, too bright. So like many women, she dimmed herself to survive. She softened her edges, smiled smaller, and dreamed safer… until life shattered. 

But her true breaking point didn’t come in the wreck that almost ended her life. It came after—the silence, the scars, the gaps in her children’s memories. It came when there was nothing left to fake… and everything to reclaim. 

In this soul-baring episode, Ashley shares her story of unbecoming the woman built from survival and choosing to rise in messy, raw, and real way. This is not a story of polished recovery, but of sacred transformation. 

She reminds us: 

🦋 You’re allowed to let go of who you had to become to survive.
🦋 You can rise again, not in perfection, but in power, in truth, in wholeness.
🦋 You deserve a life that feels like your own. 

This episode is a love letter to every woman who's ever questioned if she was too much, not enough, or simply too different to belong. 

If you’re crawling through your own ashes wondering if light still exists—this is your lighthouse. 

✨ Tune in to remember that you don’t need to have it all figured out.
 You just need to begin with truth, tenderness, and your hand on your heart.

What happens when the woman who does it all…
suddenly feels like she’s lost herself?

In this tender and truthful episode, Luiza shares the story of how she went from burnout and over-functioning to surrender and self-trust.

For years, she was the planner. The doer. The woman who carried it all.
Her masculine energy was her armor—until it wasn’t.

✨ Dream life…
But inside? She felt hollow. Exhausted. Disconnected.

Until the toxic relationship.
Until the spiritual awakening.
Until the whisper to come home to herself.

This is the story of one woman’s return to flow.
To softness. To the sacred power of her feminine energy.

She no longer needs to hustle for worth.
She no longer needs to prove anything.
She moves in trust.
She lives in peace.
She says “no” without guilt.
And she loves herself — for real.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve had to do it all…
If you’ve ever felt guilty for choosing yourself…
If you’re craving flow over force—

Luiza’s story will awaken something in you.

 What if the version of you you’ve been chasing… was never truly yours to begin with?” 

In this deeply intimate opening episode, Yuliana Francie shares the story behind her unbecoming. 

From billion-dollar corporate deals and a picture-perfect family life… to walking away from it all. 

Not because she failed.
But because she realised she had succeeded at becoming someone she was never meant to be. 

Born into what she calls the “minority trifecta”, a Chinese, Catholic girl raised in a small Muslim village—Yuliana’s early years were shaped by silence, sacrifice, and survival. She became who she needed to be to stay safe: the high-achieving daughter, the people-pleaser, the silent perfectionist. 

But the cost? Her truth. 

This episode is a remembrance.
Of what it means to walk away from a life that looks perfect on the outside… but suffocates the soul on the inside. 

You’ll hear Yuliana’s raw truth about divorce, cultural shame, breaking generational patterns, and choosing freedom not just for herself, but for her daughters, and for the women who will follow. 

If you’ve ever felt like you were living someone else’s life…
If you’ve been celebrated for strength while unraveling behind the scenes…
This episode will speak directly to your soul. 

✨ Your story matters.
✨ You’re not broken.
✨ You’re just buried beneath a life that was never yours.

“I wore the mask of professionalism so tight, I forgot what my real voice sounded like.” 

In this empowering episode, we hear from Rose Cazzo—also known as Jackson Hole Rose—who went from polished radio host and corporate performer… to raw, real, and radiant on live video. 

After climbing the corporate ladder on the East Coast and curating a life that looked perfect on the outside, Rose hit her breaking point: not through a dramatic fall, but through the slow ache of disconnection. A single whisper from someone who saw her truth cracked open a new possibility: 

“Rose, you need to be on camera.” 

What followed was a full redefinition of self. One terrifying Live video at a time. 

In this story, you’ll hear how Rose: 

• Moved from perfection to presence
• Transformed her fear into freedom
• Let go of the polished performance that kept her invisible
• And found a bold, unapologetic voice that changed her business—and life

Today, Rose is a livestream coach teaching women how to drop the filters, ditch the fluff, and show up as their whole selves on camera. Because, as she says:

💬 “Your voice is a business asset—and real is what sells.”

If you’ve ever been afraid to hit ‘record’...
If you’ve ever worried you weren’t “ready enough” to be seen...
This episode is your permission slip.

✨ You don’t need to be perfect.
✨ You just need a mic—and a minute of brave.
✨ The world is waiting for the real you.

“I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

In this deeply honest and courageous episode, we hear from Rebecca Keevis, a woman who walked away from three decades of alcohol and substance abuse and into a life of healing, joy, and powerful self-leadership.

After years of blackouts, dangerous nights, and reaching a point where waking up felt optional, Rebecca made a life-changing decision: to get sober. But sobriety wasn’t just about quitting drinking—it was about unbecoming the version of herself that learned to numb pain in order to survive.

Therapy, self-awareness, and spiritual guidance helped her reclaim her truth. She even began creating affirmations printed in reverse on pajamas—so women like her could read them in the mirror, at the hardest times of the day: morning and bedtime.

Her healing path led her to holistic counselling… and eventually, to becoming a proud respite carer for a 6-year-old boy—a role that’s transformed her life with deep purpose and joy.

This story is a testament to what happens when we choose to break the cycle.

To unbecome who we were taught to be.
To rise above our trauma.
To rewrite the ending.

In this deeply moving episode, Jennifer Lorena shares the raw and radiant story of what it means to come home, to herself. 

From rebellious beginnings as a free spirit raised in a traditional South American family, to climbing the corporate ladder as a national manager in Australia, Jennifer had it all—on paper. But behind the success was a woman unravelling. A mother is overwhelmed. A soul disconnected. 

After leaving her high-powered career and a long-term marriage, Jennifer found herself in the dark night of the soul—lost, anxious, and questioning everything she thought she had to be. But it was in that unravelling that the unbecoming began. 

Through yoga, shamanic healing, and reconnecting with her spiritual roots, Jennifer reawakened the wild, intuitive woman she always was. Today, she holds sacred space for others to return to themselves—through drum birthing ceremonies, holistic practices, and the courage to listen within. 

💫 “You don’t have to let go of your true essence to become someone. You get to remember her.” 

This episode is a call to every woman who's ever felt lost in the roles she was told to play. It’s never too late to unbecome and return home to yourself.
